It's been a little while since I checked out this game so I figured I'd give it a look. Things have actually improved noticeably since last time so that's a good sign.

The main improvement is that the voice acting and sounds are now working correctly across the entire game and not just the in-game voice clips.

In my previous video, there was a lot of bright vertex explosions at random points, to the point where I put an epilepsy warning in the video title. This issue can be resolved by setting GPU buffer cache accuracy to High. At the time, this may have solved the issue, but at that time, GPU buffer cache accuracy held an extreme performance cost. More recent versions of CEMU have made GPU buffer cache accuracy much less demanding so it's more viable to use, though do note it still has SOME performance cost.

I can't maintain a perfect 60 FPS in all areas yet but it holds up decently most of the time (my shader cache was also fresh so some of it is shader stutter). I should also note that this is one of the few games that can use Triple/Dual-core Recompiler modes, and it's recommended you do if your computer can handle it. Performance is pretty awful on Single-core Recompiler. This game is actually up there with Breath of the Wild as far as most demanding games go, believe it or not.

Here is my game profile for this game:

[Graphics]
forceTextureUpdate = true #set to true to always check 1280 width textures for changes, default is only when h264 video is playing (this title uses softdec video so requires true), and false is to never patch out 1280-width check
disableGPUFence = false
extendedTextureReadback = true
accurateShaderMul = true
GPUBufferCacheAccuracy = 0

[CPU]
cpuMode = Triplecore-Recompiler

The only graphics packs to use are Resolution, 60 FPS, and Shadow Resolution (mine is set to 2x Shadow Resolution). All are part of the community graphics packs you can download within CEMU itself.
